Great Wei Nengchen

"Liu Bei has no other skills other than crying bitterly and inviting people's hearts. Today's method of arranging troops is extremely cunning and impenetrable. Could it be possible to have the help of an expert?"

While fleeing all the way, Cao Hong was also thinking secretly, he led tens of thousands of troops to the south, but was defeated by the big-eared thief, and the defeat was inexplicable, this is too incredible!

Da Sima once commented: "Liu Bei has a dark belly, thick skin, and great ambitions. He is really a hero. However, he has great ambitions but few talents. He is dark and witty. He is not a good talent for commanding an army. He will be defeated in battle Undoubtedly, just like his ancestor Liu Bang-good at generals, but not good at soldiers! '

Facts have proved that what Xiao Yi said is correct. When Liu Bei was in the Central Plains, he almost fought and lost a battle. His territory was completely lost, and he lived everywhere under the fence. How did he suddenly become powerful after he came to Jingzhou!

Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun...the first few are white-faced scholars without the ability to plan strategies, while the latter few are tiger generals, capable of charging forward, but not capable of standing alone. Who is assisting Liu Bei? , secretly directing the overall situation?

"This man uses far-reaching schemes and has exhaustive strategies. His ability is not inferior to that of Xun Yu and Xun You. Liu Bei's talent is like a tiger with wings added!"

Suffering gains knowledge, and defeat wears down willpower, Cao Hong secretly made up his mind to investigate clearly, who will advise the big-eared thief?

......................................................................................................

Fancheng is fifty miles north of the Baihe River. After a night of desperately fleeing, Cao Hong brought hundreds of remnants and finally came to the city before dawn, and then suffered a bigger blow!

"Haha! - Zhang Yide has been taking down Fancheng for a long time under the order of the military commander. If Cao Jun doesn't surrender, he will kill one by one with a spear and don't care to bury him!"

A group of Jingzhou soldiers rushed out of Fancheng, the leader was a general - a leopard head with ring eyes, a swallow jaw and a tiger beard, sitting on a horse riding on the snow, with a zhangba snake spear in his hand, it was the Yan man - Zhang Fei!

Xu Shu was exhausted, how could he allow his opponent to stand up, he had already dispatched three generals, Zhang Fei, and led 8000 troops to capture Fancheng, but there were only 5000 defenders in the city.

Zhang Fei from Yan, a peerless tiger general, fought fifty rounds with Lu Wenhou in Hulao, and he was not at a disadvantage. The eighteen princes were all frightened, and the reputation of being brave and good at fighting has already spread everywhere!

There were only a few hundred remnants of Cao's army, who were cold, hungry, and exhausted. If they dared to fight, they all fled for their lives. Those who could not escape lay on the ground and resigned themselves to their fate!

Cao Hong had some guts, vowed not to be a prisoner to the death, first took off the general's armor, then smeared his face with mud, held a large iron sword, and led his own soldiers to fight bloody battles, taking advantage of the chaotic situation, he plunged into the weeds and escaped up...

First defeated by Bowangpo, then Xinye and Fancheng were lost. At the time of the expedition, there were [-] troops, and only a dozen of his own soldiers remained. At this point, Cao Hong was heartbroken and shy. In my own hands, there is still a chance to make a comeback!

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

........................

It was raining all night, the ship was broken and the wind was blowing, Cao Hong was running away, and met some troops on the opposite side. Fortunately, it was not Jingzhou soldiers who came, but Wancheng defenders, or a group of defeated soldiers!

It turned out that Guan Yu was ordered by the army division to lead someone disguised as Cao Jun, and in the name of escorting the spoils, he cleverly entered Wancheng. Wancheng also fell into the hands of Jingzhou soldiers!

"The army is about to perish, and the important city is lost. How can I explain to the prime minister? What face do I have—poof! Poof!"

Losing tens of thousands of horses, losing Xiahoujie and Xiahouen brothers, and now even Wancheng was lost, Cao Hong was so anxious that he sprayed two mouthfuls of blood in a row, and fell into a coma immediately!

Fortunately, the soldiers were quite loyal. They carried Cao Hong on a stretcher and fled to the north by the small path. They traveled day and night all the way, first to Xuchang, then to Yecheng, and apologized to the Prime Minister!

Liu Bei won a complete victory. He first led his troops into Wancheng, and held a rich banquet to celebrate the achievements of the generals. He also held a lamp for Xu Shu himself to thank him for his assistance. Nanyang County fell into his hands, and he had a foothold again. landed!

He also sent people to Xiangyang to report the battle situation to Liu Biao, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity of the great victory, and use all the troops and horses of the nine counties of Jingxiang to attack Luoyang and Xuchang respectively, so as to reverse the general trend of the world in one fell swoop!

Luoyang is the capital city of the great Han Dynasty, which ranks among the best in the world. Xuchang is the old nest of Cao Ying, hoarding countless wealth. As long as two cities are taken down, the little emperor will be supported, and the princes will be ordered to punish Cao's bandits. It's going to hurt your spirits!

After the Xinye War, the world was shaken in Kyushu, and the princes also responded. The first one was the Jiangdong Group. After more than a year of cultivation, it has stepped out of the shadow of defeat. Sun Ce revenge!

When a great opportunity arises, it is natural not to miss it. Sun Quan has gathered 5 troops and ordered the governor Zhou Yu to command them, stationed in the area of ​​Panyang Lake, posing a threat to Shouchun, and preparing to take back the land of Huainan!

At the same time, Hanzhong-Zhang Lu also took action, and asked his younger brother Zhang Wei to command tens of thousands of people, stationed near Yangping Pass, spying on the cities around Guanzhong and Chang'an, and wanted to take advantage of the fire to loot and get some benefits!

Suddenly, the princes were ready to move, Luoyang, Xuchang, Shouchun, and Chang'an were threatened at the same time, and the main force of Cao's army stationed in Yecheng was also caught in a dilemma. Should they continue the Northern Expedition?Or return to the teacher for rescue?

Chapter 1051 The great cause of the Northern Expedition will never be abandoned halfway!

"Zi Lian is loyal, brave and good at fighting, so he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility to guard Wancheng. Unfortunately, he was brave and intrepid, impatient and greedy, which led to today's defeat. This is the old man's improper employment!"

Yecheng - In the General's Mansion, Cao Cao was quite shocked when he heard the news of Xinye's defeat. After deeply blaming himself, he immediately summoned his civil and military officials to discuss the countermeasures!

Wancheng's military value is extremely important for guarding the dangerous points and connecting the north and the south. Now that it has fallen into Liu Bei's hands, it is like adding wings to a tiger. Xuchang and Luoyang are all threatened.

To make matters worse, after the Battle of Xinye, the southern feudal lords were encouraged and stationed troops on the border one after another. Once Jingzhou, Hanzhong, and Jiangdong form a military alliance and jointly send troops to the north, the general situation of the world will be unpredictable!

"See Lord Prime Minister - Regent of Fuguo, great merit!"

"You don't need to be too polite, quickly take your seats on both sides, there are important military affairs to discuss today!

A moment later, Xiao Yi, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houdun, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Li Dian, Le Jin... a group of civil and military officials came to the general's residence and saluted the prime minister one after another!

Cao Cao put his hands up, motioned everyone to sit down, and explained in detail the matter of "Cao Hong's defeat and the fall of Wancheng", hoping to work together to deal with the current predicament!

Cao Jun launched a large-scale northern expedition, and tens of 10 people were stationed in Yecheng. The rear was extremely empty, and the southern princes were about to move, making people restless. In the current situation, there are only two options:

One is: the army retreats to the south of the Yellow River, and divides troops to garrison Xuchang, Luoyang, Shouchun, and Chang'an to ensure that the rear is safe and sound, and deter the princes of the southern towns. It is best to retake the important town of Wancheng and restore the trend of strategic coercion!

In this way, the Northern Expedition would come to an end halfway. Yuan Xi occupied the Youzhou area, and there were tens of thousands of horses under his command. If he colluded with Karasuma, Xianbei, and Liaodong, and sent troops south again, the city that Cao Jun had just occupied would be difficult to preserve. The strategic plan to unify the Central Plains will also be delayed indefinitely!

The second is: Withstood all pressures, the army continued the Northern Expedition, striving to wipe out the remaining forces of the Yuan family in the shortest possible time, and after unifying the Central Plains, return to the army to clean up the southern princes!

The problem is that Karasuma and Xianbei are erratic in Youzhou and Liaodong. Once the main force of the Cao army goes northward, it will be difficult to win in the short term. The southern princes will take advantage of the vacancy and attack Xuchang, Luoyang, and Chang'an. Things will be troublesome !

At that time, there were still remnants of the enemy in front, and the old lair in the rear was lost, Cao Jun was in a dilemma, the morale of the army was fluctuating, and the entire army might even be wiped out. It was too dangerous!

"Xuchang and Luoyang are empty of troops. Once they fall into the enemy's hands, it will be difficult for our family members to be saved. Let's quickly return to the rescue!"

"Since the Northern Expedition of the army, countless soldiers have been killed and injured. How can we give up halfway? It is better to make up our minds and continue the Northern Expedition!"

....................................

The ministers were also discussing a lot, some advocated withdrawing troops, some suggested the Northern Expedition, each had its own reasons, they argued endlessly with each other, but they couldn't find a solution to both!

"Liu Biao is flashy and unreal. Although he sits in the nine counties of Jingxiang, he is just a household dog and has no ambition to go north. Liu Bei has great ambitions, but unfortunately he is not strong enough, and he can't make big waves. He is not afraid of it!

Sun Quan and Zhang Lu acted according to the wind. As long as Jingzhou does not send troops, they will not act rashly. The prime minister divides troops and sends generals to guard the two cities of Shouchun and Chang'an. "

Guo Jia has a unique insight, and he has a thorough analysis of the characters, abilities, and reactions of the princes. Some have no ambition, some have no courage, some have no wisdom...all of which are difficult to achieve great things!

Liu Bei is a hero in troubled times, but it is a pity that his rise was too late, and he would not be able to achieve success in four or five years. At that time, Cao Jun had already pacified the Central Plains, and then sent his troops south!

"Prime Minister, don't worry, you can lead the army back to Xuchang and sit in the imperial court in person, so as not to cause any dissatisfaction. In the end, the general is willing to take his troops and continue to advance into Youzhou and Liaodong. If he doesn't win a complete victory, he vows not to return to the imperial court!"

Xiao Yi also stood up, willing to lead the Northern Expedition alone, and unify the great cause of the Central Plains, he must not give up halfway!

"Fengxiao and Wuchou are justified. The old man is in sight to unify the Central Plains. How can he retreat halfway and make the world laugh at him? As for the princes in the southern towns, they will never have the courage to go north!"

Cao Cao's lifelong wish is to occupy the Central Plains first, and then dominate the world. He will never give up halfway, let alone hand over the banner to others, and his son-in-law will not succeed!

The decision has been made, the next step is to discuss carefully, who will continue the Northern Expedition, who will divide the troops to garrison, and can no longer be entrusted to others, Cao Hong is a lesson from the past!

"Report! - General Zi Lian came to Ye City and was kneeling in the lobby to plead guilty, and I ask the Prime Minister to make a decision!"
